User's Manual

If the user did not enter the SIM-PIN when the main application started,
the main application prompts the user for the SIM-PIN using the usual dia-
log for entering a SIM.The main application can simply check whether the
SIM-PIN is needed when the user tries to open a connection with EAP/SIM as
its authentication method and prompt the users as appropriate.
- EAP/TokenCardThis protocol does not need any additional parameters.
- EAP/TLS This protocol uses certificates for authentication.The user must select
a personal certificate for this method to work. If there is no certificate selected,
this triggers a warning.The only additional parameter for this method
is whether the server’s certificate should be verified.
- EAP/TLS This protocol uses a certificate for authentication.
My Options
Using the GTMM My Options button you can add shortcuts to your favorite applications.
The drop down list gives immediate access to all applications that you have added.
You can consider My Options button as an extension of the main toolbar.
From the menu View > Customize Toolbar it’s possible to choose which buttons

> The user can enter a key either as a sequence of hexadecimal digits or as a string
of characters as defined by the format buttons above the key fields.
> As long as the user enters a key and the key’s length is not correct, an appropriate
warning is shown.
WPA-PSK
If the user selects authentication via WPA-PSK, he has to enter a so-called
pre-shared key. Such keys contain between 8 and 63 characters.The user may enter
these characters in an appropriate password field.The text of the key is shown
masked unless the check box “Clear text”is turned on.
Note WPA-PSK is a stronger encryption method than WEP,users are advised to use
WPA-PSK whenever possible.The amount of configuration is essentially the same
while WPA-PSK is more secure without the need for a dedicated authentication server.
WPA-PSK
On the WPA settings pane, the user selects the method of authentication used when
the device communicates with a RADIUS server. RADIUS serves are typically used in
a corporate environment.
> The method of authentication is selected from the “Main Protocol”pop-up menu.
The following bullets describe in more detail additional parameters that might
be necessary for the different methods:
- EAP/LEAP This protocol does not use any additional parameters.
- EAP/PEAP This protocol uses certificates for authentication.By setting the appropriate
check box,the user may request a verification of the server’s certificate.
- EAP/SIM This protocol does not use any additional parameters.The user’s SIM
must be present when he wants to attach to a WLAN network. Usually
the user enters the SIM-PIN when the main application is started.
